I use shorewall behind a speedtouch router could you point me into the right direction in how to make contact with the net through the right routes.
A noob question where should i look for the log files also which comands should i give to check proftpd...
I tried to connect to proftpd through a other computer in the lan area but I could not connect also....

I mean connect to the mysql server like i showed you in the previous post then run those sql queries to verify that the user name and password you are using to login in to the ftp server are correct in the database since i have seen that the ftpuser can connect to the db without a problem.
